#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Ronald Searle for Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol" (1961). A completely fabulous version, with Searle revelling in the characters, costumes & settings, with his astonishing pen work. Magnificent! He later provided film titles for "Scrooge".

"This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both,and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy,for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless thewriting be erased." Charles Dickens - A Christmas Carol, illustration by John Leech #GothicAdvent

When Charles Dickens went on the road to give public readings from 'A Christmas Carol', the story changed a bit from one performance to another. His marked-up copy of the book, which you can see at the New York Public Library, offers a peek into his mind.

#CharlesDickens' classic "A Christmas Carol" is 175 years old today!!The Christmas tale that has captured imaginations from the minute it first appeared was published #onthisday 1843, two years after Dickens joined as a founder member. Here's our 1845 edition.

Listening to ⁦⁩ read “A Christmas Carol” - it’s fabulous, and nostalgia inducing - it’s been so long since I have had a story read to me - and this is surely the best way to feel the Christmas spirit. Thank you Neil Gaiman, thank you!

IMHO, the best screen version of A Christmas Carol is the 1951 film that features Alastair Sim's iconic performance as Scrooge. What's your favorite movie version (old Hollywood or modern) of Charles Dickens' classic tale? #OldHollywoodHolidays #TCMParty

I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach!

'A Christmas Carol' (1951) An old bitter miser (Alastair Sim) is given a chance for redemption when he is haunted by three ghosts on Christmas Eve. Dir. by Brian Desmond Hurst, from the story by Charles Dickens, with Jack Warner, Kathleen Harrison, George Cole & many others

A Christmas Carol at the Citadel Theatre. A holiday ritual that I've only missed three times in almost two decades of production. I will miss it when the curtain closes on it this final year. Thanks for all the wonderful memories, Citadel Theatre; Christmas was marked for me every season by this performance. Bravo to all the people who made it happen.

"I am in the presence of the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come?" said Scrooge.
The Spirit answered not, but pointed onward with its hand."
"I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach!" ???

I don’t know how this book is going to end, but I’m a little stressed. Dickens is making some pretty poor life decisions, and I wish I could reach through the pages and yell at him about how good his life is! Maybe it’s because I’m sick, but I have little tolerance for his shenanigans right meow.

Merry Christmas Y’all ?????whilst talking about Christmas a wise man once said..... It's a time for giving, a time for getting, a time for forgiving and for forgetting, Christmas is love, Christmas is peace, a time for hating and fighting to cease..... we could all probably take a bit of notice from this ❤️❤️ MERRY CHRISTMAS MY BEAUTIFUL’s ???

"Scrooged" a movie classic I truly enjoy watching over and over and over. Movie based on #CharlesDickens #AChristmasCarol The reference to #Trump is a classic "Oh this is nice, where are we Trump Tower?!!!" Love Bill Murray, he is a genius, his sarcasm, and ad libbed in this movie is perfect. #BillMurray #Scrooged #moviesIlove #bekindtooneanother #kindness #givealittlelovetoyourheart #pazyamor
